Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No symptoms of systemic toxicity and no skin irritation/corrosion were observed and no mortality occurred.
Executive summary:

In a well-performed primary skin irritation/corrosion study, conducted according to Directive 92/69/EEC B.4 and OECD guideline 404, three male New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to 0.5 g of moistened zinc sulphate (ZnSO4.7 H2O), applied onto clipped skin for 4 h using a semi-occlusive dressing. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure. No symptoms of systemic toxicity and no skin irritation/corrosion were observed and no mortality occurred.
